Will there be a similar book burning in Russia?

If not, they will be missing a good chance.

Russian police seized 100,000 copies of a book critical of Prime Minister Vladimir Putin (pictured) that activists planned to hand out at the Saint Petersburg International Economic Forum.

Copies of 'Putin. The Results. 10 Years on', written by opposition politicians Boris Nemtsov and Vladimir Milov were "intended for participants of the forum", starting Thursday, according to Olga Kurnosova, head of the city's branch of the opposition United Civic Front, said.
